MAN SE to cut 1,800 jobs at trucks unit -sources

MUNICH/BERLIN, June 24 (Reuters) - Germany's MAN SE
plans to cut around 1,800 jobs at its main trucks
division as the Volkswagen-owned company slims
operations to lower costs and revive profit, two people familiar
with the situation said on Wednesday.

The job cuts will affect 1,400 white-collar employees and
400 staff in production, the people said.

MAN Truck & Bus employs around 33,500 people worldwide,
including 15,200 in Germany.

Financial daily Handelsblatt newspaper also reported the job
cut figure on Wednesday, while Reuters reported last week that
the number would be about 2,000.
